Banking Industry

TOO MANY DEMANDS. Iowa Banking Superintendent Tom Huston, who closed 11 banks this year, resigned Friday. ''The job is more and more demanding,'' Huston said. ''I've done my stint.'' The job was largely ceremonial when Huston took office in 1976, but the increasing financial pressure facing farmers turned it into a fight to aid struggling banks. ''I see no bottom to the thing,'' Huston said.
